Ramadhan :D!

Hey guys what’s up!!!

So in 2 days’ time it will be Ramadhan and that means I will
be fasting for 30 days in a row! Well everyone knows that Muslims are expected
to fast during this month. However the
month of Ramadhan has a lot more to it than just not eating and drinking from
sunrise to sunset for 29-30 days (yes we fast depending on the moon and when it
is seen so if seen on fast 29 then we do not keep 30 fasts).

So you must be wondering what Ramadhan is about? In simple
terms Ramadhan is about being a better human. In this month we try to control
everything that could make as mean and angry and, well, horrible humans. We try
not to swear and have a lot of patience; We try to keep away from anything that
is bad for our health and that has been classed as makruh (meaning disliked). This
is a month of change, where a lot of things do change.

Also this month is about humility, ibadah (meaning obedience
in servitude to Allah), that will happen by increasing praying to 5 times a day
and reading a chapter of the Quran every day for that whole month. Also we
learn about humbling ourselves and having gratitude to Allah for the luxuries
we have.

Now people always say to me “don’t you lose weight?” and “don’t
you feel tired?” or “if you are on the brink of collapsing can you not break
your fast?” That is not true. Fasting is only allowed if you are fit and
healthy. Any sign of your health deteriorating means that you will have to
break the fast.

Also you do not lose weight, you actually put it on a bit
because you over eat for the preparation for the next day.

But that’s it for now so going to prepare for Ramadhan see
you guys later!!

PS. Tip if you are looking to fast make sure you have yogurt
before you close your fast and also make sure you don’t over eat, because it
will be harder in the following day trust me I should know :P.
